Trade and Free Agency Thread - Common Trades!

Hopefully this is the case.

All of Dubas’ trades come out of left field. There’s definitely going to be some surprises tomorrow.

Is picking Mete up off waivers a no brainer? Marincin is currently on our 23 man roster, and he only makes $35K less than Mete. Mete >>> Marincin, and even if we don't plan on using Mete, he at least gives us a legitimate NHL defenceman to step in if we get an injury.

What's the downside? Unless we're trading for a legitimate upgrade over Dermott and planning to push him off the gameday roster.

He'll get claimed by somebody terrible (Buf or NJ).

But I'd rather just start giving Sandin and Liljegren games.

 

[sxvnert]

With depth players being traded for pennies on the dollar, Dubas better have something in the works instead of heading into the playoffs with Hutch, Marincin. Rosen, Sandin/Liljegren as the backups.

Unless a first round victory alone is being viewed as good enough to hold off the critics for another year (it won't).

A bit surprised in your take Thought you’d be a hard no on that one

Yeah I like him. Actually suggested a foligno+Nash trade a few weeks ago.

He plays top tough defensive matchups and does well in those minutes. His scoring is down this year but I'm pretty sure he can still score at a 40+ pt rate on a team like the leafs.

I think Foligno would be great for the team on the ice but how much he has in the tank is what I am not sure of. He'd be a nice add and with retention a late first in a poor draft might not be asking too much.

You can get Hall for that probably and a bottom 6 full of slow older guys gives me concerns when we aren't at home against fast young lines

 

[Not My Tempo]

I don’t mind Foligno, just not for a first. I wouldn’t give more than the Habs gave for Staal, actually would probably give less

 

[Crazy Monkey]

Foligno would be a terrific add. Fun to see what happens tomorrow

 

[TheGroceryStick]

I still think Bennett isn't a terrible fall back play ; he'd come with a burr under his saddle and be a hitting machine on the 3rd line with Simmer.

 

[123offtheglass]

I have no doubt he will turn Detroit around. He might be the best GM in the league.

As for Dubas I’m very happy with his drafting so far but it’s just too early. I have to see multiple guys having success in the NHL before he earns the credit for it. Looking good so far

I think Yzerman is the clear-cut #1 GM (gold standard), he doesn't have flaws only strengths. One thing I like about the Leafs management is they seem to learn from their mistakes (e.x. Kyles focus on defense, locker room chemistry, intangibles this season), hopefully it'll one day be them as a whole.

Seeing what he did in Tampa, he set up Brisbois very nicely. He built that monster franchise in Tampa, Brisbois is having all the fun with it now.

 

[Judas Tavares]

I'm fine if a bidding war leads to a bit of an overpay. I don't want Dubas to overpay but I think be does a good job of recouping assets. Whether it is drafting well or getting picks here and there back in deals.

We get Robertson and Amirov in years we don't expect to draft in the 1st round. We got Hallander in the Kap trade. We made 12 picks last year which is a lot for a contending team, and a bunch look solid so far.

 

[Contenderorpretender]

He's not slower than Thornton. And yes he's still extremely physical. He would automatically lead our team in hits. Dude isn't afraid of anyone

Neither is Milan lucic. Same amount of points and more hits. Do you see him as an asset? Theres more to just hitting someone. Zach hyman isnt near the top of the hits list but he hits, doesn't back down and gets the puck back.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Any team that gives up a first for Foligno deserves to be laughed at in my opinion

Yes...and hopefully it won't be us.

 

[HolyCrap]

Wow. I would like this post but my "Liking" abilities got taken away by a Mod

Not being able to like posts is basically just part of being a Leafs fan on here. Lol.

why is everyone certain this is a tomorrow thing lol

Give me a break. Nick Foligno is a far better player than Milan f***ing Lucic. What a garbage comparison. Clearly, you have never watched Nick Foligno play because he's also a guy who doesn't back down and wins a ton of board battles.

You don't see team lining up to give up a 1st for Lucic do you. The AVS, CAPS and also other teams are willing to include a 1st. That should say something

 

[sxvnert]

I think Yzerman is the clear-cut #1 GM

Nothing to suggest that in his short time in Detroit. The Tampa tax advantage will always play a factor into how the Lightning were built and maintained.

 

[Marshy]

Yes...and hopefully it won't be us.

Probably just Kekäläinen trying to bump the current 3rd rounder offers up to a 2nd.

 

[NK94]

He's not slower than Thornton. And yes he's still extremely physical. He would automatically lead our team in hits. Dude isn't afraid of anyone

So he would have some of the worst possession numbers on the team? Wonderful.

 

[OVO16]

Yeah cuz that's clearly what that means

 

[NK94]

Yeah cuz that's clearly what that means

The more often you hit, the less often you’d have the puck.

So... yeah?

 

[Cor]

I like Foligno as an add.

I am totally fine with giving up our first rounder.

I am not sure how I feel about those sentences being connected lol

Bud I've seen his entire career. The guy isn't worth a first anymore. He cant keep up with any of our top 3 lines. And yeah statistically it's an excellent comparison because they match up identically.

Dont know why you're such a fan of 2021 foligno.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I mean, did the 2020 series really make that much of an impression on our management? The series was basically a coin flip.

They were in rough shape when he got there, still pulled out these:
Robby Fabbri Trades - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps
Andreas Athanasiou Trades - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

But yea that tax-advantage is huge there in Tampa.
